Glad to see you’re back! You were the one who inspired me to play chess because of your Chess Fundamentals series years ago. Rooting for you to make GM someday!
Wow, what a performance! I was just happy you posted a Titled Tuesday video, but then you started to play like a monster, crushing strong GM's. Game 3 is epic!
I love these videos! Welcome back. You seemed a lot more animated than usual when you were getting those early wins. I love that energy and the great play of course.
So I was in Chessable searching for Endgame courses.. saw Johns course, clicked on the preview vid, and went “YEP he’s got endgame eyes” GREAT COURSE! So glad I got it. It helped me make waaaay better decisions.
Just to note, I'm sure the person who said your content has helped her sleep meant that your voice and manner are very soothing and stable. It was definitely a compliment.
I love when I shout out a move and then you explain why that is an absolutely terrible idea. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing you as a GM!
In the local language, «Barca» actually sounds like "bartha". Normally a «ca» would be "ka" like you said, but since it's short for «Barcelona» the keeps the sound from the longer word. In more careful typography it's written «Barça».
5:09 Hey John, just wanna apologize because i keep cursing at you when you take too long to move, you give me anxiety hahaha i love how chill you're with it
Hi John, I am interested in getting some lessons from you but I can’t see the business enquiries tab on my phone / iPad. How is it best to contact you?
STILL the most watchable streamer .... always professional and instructive. Big thanks from England.
Phew, was missing this so much. Have been eagerly waiting for your TT stream.
Nice win against Bortnyk! Great game.
Thank you!

Was it a comeback? Pretty sure he was putting pressure as well.
Love seeing the creativity combined with the classic JB solidness

grand to see you holding your own against the top gms, john, and always a pleasure to watch you play blitz
Great Mr John
Very useful and interesting stream, thank you
The Goat has returned
RoyalFork subscribing just as John missed Nc4 was *chef's kiss*
Excellent - thanks for sharing!
Came for the unreal win over Bortnyk..... stayed for the unreal pronunciation of "Barca"
Man man man that second game with Nf4 followed by Nxh2! with the ending positional bind was extremely enjoyable. Great to see another YT vid!
Yes, please, more TT in the future
John is really like Real Madrid... Calm, classy and an absolute champ.
Love to see you posting here again, John!
Great to see you back! Love all your content John, hoping all the best for you.
Beautiful game against dcremisi John, the fatal pin and ending position 👌
Welcome back!!
Just to note, I'm sure the person who said your content has helped her sleep meant that your voice and manner are very soothing and stable. It was definitely a compliment.
😂Yes indeed!
Heyyy. You got Bortnyk!! Amazing!
Another John video to cruise into the weekend. Thanks boss
This was such a great stream. Was so nice to catch it live ❤️
Great to ser you John!!
Good to see you back JB! Liking your renewed vigor. Playing more like Tal than Capa
Great to see you back, John.
I love when I shout out a move and then you explain why that is an absolutely terrible idea. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing you as a GM!
Fins is the Moby Dick of TH-cam. He doesn't surface often, but when he does it's a splash.
Just started watching but that game with Bortnyk was awesome.
The Scandinavian swindler strikes again!
Nice win John against Bortnyk (Y)

Great job!!!!! That was great stream !!! Do more of these john 😃
Great video. I know it’s a ton of work for you, but if you’d make time to do this monthly we would all benefit. Fantastic resource.
Always a great day when John has a new video
Love from VT!
Game 3 was fantastic. Awesome win
Yes! This is the best!
Fantastic description! The time, opening and opponent name are listed for all the games.
Still watching but that win against Bortnyk was sick!
Glad ur back. Pls do more standard videos in preparation for your return to classical chess so you can win that GM title!!
Love you John, stay classy like always ;-) The ending of Game 2 was quite amazing.
Lovely Video John
Good to see titled tuesday is back!
SECOND GAME WAS SOOOO SICK!
Glad you liked it, Kurt!
Welcome back
John is the gentleman of chess.
Nice win against Bortnyk JB!
Haven't finished yet but sick start John!!
20:43 - I’m pretty sure you actually could play f5. after xf6 Nxf6 Bxf6 Rxf6 Qxe8, you’d have Rxf1+. or did I miss something?
5:09 Hey John, just wanna apologize because i keep cursing at you when you take too long to move, you give me anxiety hahaha i love how chill you're with it
😅 You and my dad can relate on that, haha! He would always have a near breakdown when I was in time pressure :) Thanks for watching
Welcome back!
Nice win against Bortnyk!
Thanks JB!
Any time!
shout out to all the Barka fans out there!
Hi John, I am interested in getting some lessons from you but I can’t see the business enquiries tab on my phone / iPad. How is it best to contact you?
you didn't say 'a tradition unlike any other'
More TT please!!
At 20:23 can't he move his pawn to f5? His rook is threatening to take g2 and his queen has a discovered attack on his opponents 's queen
a tradition like none other :)
I was hoping you would cross paths with Sensei Danya!
1.5 years eh? Why though? You obviously enjoy playing it and we obviously love to watch.
Good showing John. Chess is an expression of pi
Why do I keep reading Tilted Tuesday? I could get behind that!
Great vid! My gf couldn’t pull me away from it last night.
John, go get that GM title!
Sad missed the stream
Will start playing these more often, so hope to see you there
No ‘hey guys, this is John’?
He said it on his stream
Geez...beating Bortnyk a 3000'.................holy molly. Congrats
John, are you actively pursuing GM title?
I hope he is he has so much potential
Your next vacation should be to Barka
Good ole Barka 🤣
Woah was that Nightking bortnyck?
Yup!
16:56 Prophylactic stream sniping?
John is a GM, I don't care what you say. Norms be damned.
He almost become one
I keep on seeing Titled as Tilted 🤣🤣
22:20 there is a fork
